World Parks Congress. Registration is required.

Engage in a live dialogue with a senior advisor to the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Stephen
Woodley, who is an expert on strategies for reaching ambitious
habitat and biodiversity conservation goals. Stephen will be joined
by Crista Valentino and Elaine Hsiao, who are helping to lead
efforts to engage a new generation in the global biodiversity
conservation movement. Stephen, Elaine, and Crista will be talking
about plans for the upcoming IUCN World Parks Congress, to be held
in Sydney, Australia, in November 2014.

Taking the theme of Parks, People, Planet -- Inspiring Solutions,
the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 will advance an ambitious agenda
that will inspire solutions for today's most pressing global
challenges. As a prestigious global gathering of protected area
leaders and professionals and the wider cross-section of society,
with a legacy of collaboration and innovation dating back to the
inaugural event in 1961, this World Parks Congress promises to
build a dynamic foundation for achieving conservation and
development goals for the decade to come.

Conservation Innovation at the Harvard Forest, Harvard University,
and a Fellow at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
